Well, I jokingly say I like VIII because it was the first Final Fantasy I owned (I had rented Anthology when it came out, but didn't buy it). I'm one of the few people who like it, heh. Also, I completley forgot about the garbage that was X-2. I bought that as soon as it came out and traded it in after a week. But, I have to ask, what's wrong with X? This is coming from someone who thinks Final Fantasy II and III (Or IV and VI as most people call it now) are the best.
